The LONG walk to the Dentist, phew…

Well I have finally achieved one of my goals which was to walk from my house down to the Village and back a walk of about 1.5 miles, I walked quite well on the way down, using just the 1 cruch for security really, strode out quite well, the journey back was harder because although it looks flat it is actually slightly uphill all the way and steps were much shorter.  Normally a walk into the Village would take me less than 10 minutes but today it took 30 minutes.  I will do it in less time on my next trip.

Having got into the Village I had a dental appointment which lasted 75 minutes, this was to continue treatment started in March but because of my achilles problem I put the appointment off.  Anyway, had the preparatory work for two crowns done and second appointment next Monday.

So with the walking and the dental work I feel a bit exhausted but exhilarated at the same time because I walked such a long way so I will spend some time watching the Olympics.  Saw some badminton yesterday, it was fantastic, I played Badders for 20 years but not that well, just liked the game.  Andy Murry played Tennis today and lost but we did get an unexpected Gold and Bronze in the ladies swimming.

Congrats on the walk. I know the independence is a wonderful feeling. We’ve had a better than ever option to see Olympic badminton here (in the US) so I too enjoyed watching it. Thanks for the preview of that which is soon to come.
